upgraded diff for B4.1?

[carbons2k]

Ok so Ive had my RTR B4.1 for about 3 weeks now and Ive blown out my rear diff for the 2nd time yesterday. I dont want to keep buying a stock one just to have them blow out on me. The gears strip and I dont know why. Im still learning and I dont beat on the car. Id like to upgrade, the diff and trans all at once if possible. Can anyone recommend an upgraded diff and tranny i can go with so I dont have this problem? Everything else on the car is original to the RTR kit except the wheels and tires.

I suspect the slipper clutch is set to tight do the front wheels leave the ground under hard acceleration at all ?

No they dont, I had a tech at the local shop check the slipper clutch and he said the tension is ok. Front stays on the ground.

Very trange never known a grear diff to strip unless something else is putting stress on the internals what fluid are you running in it ? Also what kind of surface is it being driven on ?

[carbons2k]

regular diff fluid I guess... Im not sure what they gave me at the shop. Its a clay/ dirt track. Is there an upgrade to ball bearings instead of using the spider gears?

You would be better off sticking to the gear diff and finding out what others are using fluids wise and go from there.

Is it meshed right?

Why not fit the ball diff(and use ceramic balls),more hardy I would have thought.
